Benefits of technology

[0014]In an additional preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fuel inlet and the fuel outlet are situated at one end of the fuel filter or at opposite ends of the fuel filter. This makes it possible to assure that the advantage of a flat design is not canceled out by connections protruding beyond the fuel filter.
[0015]In another preferred embodiment, the flow entry of the fuel into the fuel filter housing is designed to reduce or eliminate turbulence in the region of

Problems solved by technology

One problem of these previously known filters is that they are comparatively bulky and are difficult to integrate into the engine compartment of a vehicle.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a 35 USC 371 application of PCT / DE 2004 / 001574 filed on Jul. 20, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a fuel filter with at least one filter element and connections for the fuel supply and fuel outlet.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]A fuel filter of the type with which this invention is concerned, known from DE 198 11 689 A1 has a housing made of solid plastic and has a beaker-shaped bottom part and a lid-like top part that is detachably fastened to the beaker-shaped bottom part by means of a quick release. The beaker-shaped bottom housing part contains a hollow, cylindrical star filter that rests on a pedestal section. The pedestal section contains a sump for water separated out during filtration of the fuel and a water drain that can be closed by means of a screw plug. In addition, the pedestal region is provided with a fuel inlet that feeds ...
